However, everyone knows that the difficulty of practicing alchemy is not particularly great in the first few levels, but it will gradually increase and become more difficult as time goes by.
Over the years, it was all thanks to Yao Chen's dedicated guidance that Xiao Ling's alchemy skills improved rapidly over the years.
You know, the threshold from the eighth rank to the ninth rank is as difficult as a chasm.
If it weren't for the personal and careful teaching of Yao Chen, the first grandmaster of alchemy to step into the ninth level, Xiao Ling really couldn't imagine that he could reach such a high level of alchemy at his current age.
After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Yao Chen waved his hand humbly, with a gentle smile on his face, and said slowly:
"Xiao Ling, with your talent, it is only natural for you to reach your current level of alchemy. I am just giving you some guidance. The key lies in your own diligence and understanding. You are naturally gifted, and you are willing to work hard to study. This is the fundamental reason why you can continue to improve, successfully overcome the difficulties, and become a ninth-grade alchemist."
What Yao Chen said was all from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Ling's talent was outstanding, almost as bright as the naked eye could see. Compared with his original self, he was many times better.
In Yao Chen's heart, it would be a great honor for him if Xiao Ling could inherit his alchemy skills.
To him, Xiao Ling's future has infinite possibilities, far more lofty and magnificent than what is shown at the moment.
He firmly believed that one day, Xiao Ling would stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Douqi Continent with his extraordinary potential, be admired by thousands of people, and become the most dazzling existence.
This kind of mutual refusal and respect between Xiao Ling and Yao Chen was not the first time. The two looked at each other, then smiled in tacit understanding and stopped dwelling on it.
Xiao Ling did not say any more on this topic and soon refocused his attention on the Sky Fire Condensing Yuan Pill in his hand.
"Master Yao, you are naturally aware of the miraculous effects of this Heavenly Fire Condensing Essence Pill. Back then, in order to help me improve my cultivation, you gave me the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that you had obtained with great difficulty, leaving you without the help of the strange fire."
He had no intention of putting away the pills. Instead, he raised his eyes slightly, looked at Yao Chen sincerely, and said in a sincere tone:
"Now, why not take this pill and use its medicinal power to breed a pseudo-strange fire. In my opinion, the pseudo-strange fire bred by the strange fire in my body should not be much worse than the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in terms of power. It should be barely enough for you, Yao Lao, to use."
After saying that, Xiao Ling slowly raised his right hand. The Skyfire Condensing Yuan Pill was lying quietly in his palm. He held it up steadily and then slowly handed it to Yao Chen.
Xiao Ling's gaze was also fixed on Yao Chen, his eyes full of expectation and sincerity.
Although Yao Chen had expected this, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, his heart was still slightly stirred. It was an indescribable feeling of relief.
Seeing Xiao Ling's sincere and expectant look, Yao Chen's eyes flashed with a touch of emotion. He immediately reached out and took the Heavenly Fire Condensing Yuan Pill. With a gentle smile on his face, he slowly said, "In that case, I won't refuse. You are always so thoughtful. This pill is really helpful to me. It not only makes up for my regret of missing the strange fire, but also carries your sincere heart. However, I still have to thank you, Xiao Ling. I have kept your concern in my heart."
Seeing Yao Chen accept the pill, Xiao Ling felt much better. In fact, he was still a little worried that Yao Chen would refuse to accept it.
However, Xiao Ling also knew in his heart that given Yao Chen's character and the deep friendship between them, like that of a master and disciple, and as close as family, he would never do such a thing.
After all, the two of them had been close to each other for a long time, so there was no need to make their relationship so clear.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling smiled sincerely and said in a brisk tone:
"Master Yao, now that this Heavenly Fire Condensing Essence Pill has been successfully refined, it is like a forged sword. It is time to let it show its sharpness and exert its own wonderful effects. You might as well take it now. After the medicinal power slowly dissolves in the body, we will take a good look at what effect this pill has. We will also see how extraordinary the pseudo-different fire that was bred by it is."
Xiao Ling's words undoubtedly touched Yao Chen's heart. Back then, Yao Chen had personally experienced the many benefits brought by the strange fire. The strange fire was like a powerful arm for him in the process of refining medicine, helping him to go unhindered on the road of refining medicine, allowing him to fully display his skills and refine one furnace after another of high-quality pills.
But later, in order to help Xiao Ling improve his cultivation, he reluctantly gave up the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to Xiao Ling.
From then on, when he was refining medicine, he always felt that something was missing and could no longer experience the feeling of being at ease and like a fish in water as he had in the past when he possessed the strange fire.
And now, even though it is a fake strange fire bred through elixir, at least he can have the help of similar strange fire again. How can he not be full of expectations?
It was as if the exhilarating feeling he once had while refining medicine was about to return again. A gleam of light appeared in Yao Chen's eyes, and he was full of anticipation for the upcoming changes.
"In that case, I will not delay any longer. Let me taste the efficacy of this Sky Fire Condensing Yuan Pill." Yao Chen said softly as he carefully looked at the pill in his hand, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Ling, raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
After he finished speaking, he did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and put the pill to his mouth. With a gentle push, the Sky Fire Condensing Yuan Pill slid into his mouth and then he opened his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
After the pill entered his stomach, Yao Chen instantly felt a burning temperature spreading rapidly in his body. The scalding hot energy was like a surging tide, running wildly in his body. The temperature was extremely high, as if it was going to burn everything to ashes.
However, with Yao Chen's current profound cultivation and strong physique, he was able to deal with this situation with ease and did not feel any discomfort. The hot medicinal power did not have much impact on him.
Then, after these energies flowed into Yao Chen's body, they actually began to absorb the Dou Qi in his body, using it as a supply for further expansion and transformation. Yao Chen was not too surprised by this reaction. After all, this situation was mentioned in the recipe of the Skyfire Condensing Yuan Pill, and he had already made sufficient preparations.
So, Yao Chen calmly sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, quickly adjusted his state, relaxed his body and mind, and let the medicinal power of the pill play freely in his body.
At the same time, Xiao Ling, who was standing aside, saw another strange scene.
I saw a stream of high-temperature energy continuously emerging from Yao Chen's body and slowly spreading around.
The power of the high temperature was so strong that the air around Yao Chen seemed to be slightly distorted, as if the space was deformed by the heat.
Faintly, Xiao Ling had an illusion that Yao Chen had turned into a ball of burning flame, emitting extremely high temperatures to the surroundings all the time.
The scorching breath hit him in the face. Even though Xiao Ling and Yao Chen were still some distance apart, he could still clearly feel the burning heat, as if he was next to a stove.
As if to supply the energy needed in his body, Yao Chen began to practice his skills and entered a state of cultivation. In an instant, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to have been summoned by some powerful force, and was completely controlled by Yao Chen, and it continuously gathered into his body.
For a moment, the originally invisible energies of heaven and earth seemed to have substance, gathering into cyclones and pouring into Yao Chen's body in an orderly manner from all directions.
As this tremendous energy was continuously replenished, the scorching temperature emanating from Yao Chen's body became increasingly intense, and the scorching heat waves surged outward one after another.
Even the surrounding space seemed to be affected, and faint flames began to flicker, presenting a strange scene of self-immolation without fire. The whole scene seemed particularly strange and bizarre.
At this moment, Xiao Ling was concentrating and observing Yao Chen's situation intently.
He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Yao Chen's body. He could vaguely feel that a burning energy was continuously gathering inside Yao Chen's body.
The energy seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, gathering more and more, becoming more and more intense. It seemed that something was wrapped in the hot energy, slowly and gradually taking shape, as if it was about to break out of the cocoon and show an unexpected and wonderful appearance.
Xiao Ling held his breath and concentrated, his heart rising as he waited for the subsequent changes to occur with great anticipation and a little nervousness.
This kind of movement continued for about half an hour. During this period, Yao Chen was immersed in the state of running the skills and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Yao Chen's movements of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and practicing his skills suddenly paused. The next moment, his eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened.
In an instant, a sharp light flashed in his pupils, which were originally full of vicissitudes, bright and dazzling.
At the same time, a brilliant flame flashed in his eyes. The flame was so red that it seemed to ignite the entire world, carrying with it endless heat and majestic energy.
However, the firelight was only fleeting and soon disappeared gradually, revealing Yao Chen's original deep black pupils. However, at this moment, there was a different look in his eyes.
Xiao Ling, who had been concentrating on observing Yao Chen's situation, naturally noticed the change first. When he saw Yao Chen open his eyes, he immediately cast a slightly inquiring look at Yao Chen.
When Yao Chen saw the look Xiao Ling gave him, he immediately understood what Xiao Ling meant.
The corner of his mouth immediately raised, revealing a relaxed smile, and then he slowly stretched out his hand from under his sleeve and gently spread out his palm.
At the same time, as Yao Chen's mind moved, a brilliant flame instantly bloomed in the palm of his hand.
The flame was burning fiercely, and the jumping flames seemed to be dancing happily. Looking at its appearance, it was almost the same as Xiao Ling's fusion fire that was born from the fusion of several kinds of fire. Whether it was the color and shape of the flame, or the majestic aura it emanated, there were many similarities.
Of course, with Xiao Ling's understanding of his own strange fire, he was able to keenly discover that there were many differences between this flame and his own strange fire.
His own strange fire was born from the fusion of several kinds of strange fire. The energy contained in it is pure and violent, like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, with a natural and unstoppable momentum.
The fake strange fire in Yao Chen's hand, which was bred by the elixir, although looks almost the same as his own strange fire, a closer look reveals that its energy fluctuations are relatively smoother, lacking the natural wildness that emanates from its bones. It looks more like a carefully crafted imitation.
Although they have similar appearances, they lack the original and pure deterrent power that comes from the depths of the blood and belongs to the real strange fire. They are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. They look the same but are actually fundamentally different.
Of course, even if this is just a fake strange fire bred by the strange fire in Xiao Ling's body with the help of elixirs, the strange fire that Xiao Ling used when he refined it was of extraordinary quality and it was a gathering of many wonderful properties, so the quality of this fake strange fire that was bred is naturally extraordinary.
From the shape of its blooming flames and the energy fluctuations it emits, it can be seen that this pseudo-strange fire contains powerful strength. Although it is not as powerful as the real top-level strange fire in terms of devastating power, it is definitely a leader among the many pseudo-strange fires. If it is used and carefully cultivated in the future, it will surely play a significant role in Yao Chen's alchemy and combat and many other aspects.
"According to my observation, although this strange fire is only a fake strange fire, its quality is quite good, even not inferior to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire."
Yao Chen said with a smile as he looked at the brilliantly burning flame in his palm, his eyes full of satisfaction and joy.
"Moreover, its fire properties are even richer. If we discuss its practicality, I'm afraid that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire cannot be compared with it at all."
Chapter 587: Hua Zong News
Yao Chen looked intently at the brilliantly burning flame in his hand. The flame leaped and burst into colorful light, illuminating Yao Chen's face.
Seeing that Yao Lao's expression was full of satisfaction, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this, he had always been vaguely worried. After all, Yao Chen had actually possessed a strange fire before, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was ranked very high on the Strange Fire List.
Therefore, Xiao Ling was really afraid that this fake strange fire produced by the elixir would be unsatisfactory.
However, at this moment, although this fake strange fire is not the real strange fire that is born and raised naturally, its quality is not low.
It contains rich characteristics of strange fire, has many wonderful aspects, and has endless uses.
Looking at Yao Chen's expression again, the joy and cherishment in his eyes were clearly visible, and did not seem to be pretended at all. It was obvious that he was extremely satisfied with the newly acquired flame.
A sincere smile bloomed on Xiao Ling's face. He took two steps forward, his eyes gently fell on the brilliant burning flame in Yao Chen's palm, and said softly:
"Master Yao, since you are satisfied, my trip here is not in vain."
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Yao Chen chuckled and shook his head, his eyes full of gentleness.
"If this doesn't satisfy me, then my request is too high. You are really thoughtful. You can consider everything so thoroughly. It's really rare."
When Yao Chen got the flame, he couldn't help but feel itchy and couldn't wait to show off his skills.
Immediately, he took out the Black Demon Cauldron and some medicinal herbs from his storage ring. He directly used the newly acquired flame and prepared to start refining pills to practice his skills.
Yao Chen smiled and said to Xiao Ling: "I will take this opportunity to get familiar with this flame and see what its specific temperament is when refining the elixir."
Xiao Ling didn't know what to do, so he decided to watch from the side.
Of course, Yao Chen did not refine any high-grade elixirs this time, but only a mere sixth-grade one. With his current extraordinary level of alchemy skills, this was simply an easy task.
Yao Chen's movements were very skillful and smooth. The flames danced and leaped under the Black Demon Cauldron. With his exquisite fire-controlling technique, he refined and fused the herbs in the cauldron bit by bit.
But after a moment, a wisp of elixir fragrance drifted away, and a top-grade imperial pill was successfully produced.
Yao Chen looked at the radiant pill in his hand, his eyes full of satisfaction, and said to Xiao Ling with a smile:
"Although I have just started using this fake fire, the effect is better than I expected. Now that I have mastered it with a little control, I can already use it with ease."
If an ordinary person gets a new fire, it will naturally take a lot of time to become thoroughly familiar with it.
But Yao Chen is naturally different. With his current advanced cultivation and powerful mental strength, to master a flame, he only needs a little familiarity, and it is not a big deal.
Moreover, this flame was originally bred by Yao Chen himself through the elixir. It has no intelligence and is like a blank piece of paper. It completely obeys Yao Chen's command. Yao Chen can easily control every change of it, so it is naturally easy to use and master it.
After Yao Chen tried out the new flame to his heart's content, the purpose of their visit was completely achieved, so they naturally no longer had any intention of staying here any longer.
After a while, they first used some methods to improve and arrange the surrounding environment to prevent any hidden dangers or inappropriateness. After everything was ready, there was no more delay.
Then, there were some faint ripples in the surrounding space, and the ripples seemed like a mysterious door that slowly opened.
The next moment, Xiao Ling and Yao Chen's figures seemed to have merged into the void. In the blink of an eye, they completely disappeared from this place, leaving only that space slowly returning to calm, as if they had never been there...
……
In the room decorated in a simple and elegant style, the walls on all sides are made of the finest sandalwood, engraved with exquisite patterns, and the traces of time make those patterns more charming.
In the corner, there is an incense burner with a unique shape. Special incense is burning in the burner. The curling green smoke rises slowly, carrying a faint fragrance, lingering in the room, as if covering this space with a layer of gauze, making people feel peaceful.
On one side of the room is an antique bookshelf filled with all kinds of precious books, and on the other side are several exquisite ornaments that emit a warm luster under the soft light.
